what are chloroplasts
Answers
Answer:
Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, converts it, and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water in plant and algal cells.
Answer:
chloroplast is one of the organelle in the cell.
it helps to perform the photosynthesis in various plants from lower to higher. but in the case of desert plants it performs the carassulacean acid metabolism method CAM.
chloroplasts contains many pigments to process it such as chlorophyll a , chlorophyll b , carotenoids and xanthophylls. where the chlorophyll a acts as the reaction centre to absorb the different wavelengths of light with the help of chlorophyll harvesting pigments mainly carotenoids.
chloroplasts appears in green in color. which is covered by the thylakoid membrane . inner space of the chloroplasts is called stroma . inside they contains thylakoid is arranged to form the structure called grana . where the two grana are connected through stroma lamellae. inner space of the thylakoid is called as lumen.
